This invention relates to biheterocyclic ultraviolet stabilizers and their use in organic compositions. More particularly, the invention relates to biheterocyclic compositions and the stabilization of ultraviolet degradable organic compositions against deterioration resulting from the exposure to such radiations with such biheterocyclic compositions.
The degradative effects of ultraviolet light on various organic compositions is well known in the art. The photo-deterioration or degradation is of particular concern with organic photo-degradable compositions which are exposed to ultraviolet light, such as sunlight, for long periods of time. One group of such photo-degradable organic compositions are polymeric compositions such as polyolefins, polyesters, polyurethanes and the like. On exposure to sunlight for extended periods of time, these polymeric compositions degrade and their physical properties are reduced to render the polymeric composition less useful for most applications. Therefore, considerable effort has been directed to providing a solution to the photo-degradation problem of polymeric compositions. As a result of this effort, there have been discovered many additives and stabilizers which improve the stability of polymeric compositions.
Moreover, various additives and stabilizers exhibit the power to absorb ultraviolet radiation within the band of 2900 to 4000 A. and, when incorporated in various plastic materials such as transparent sheets, the resultant sheet acts as a filter for all the radiation passing through and will transmit only such radiations as are not absorbed by the sheet and/or the absorbing agent. It is thus possible to screen out undesirable radiations and utilize the resulting transparent sheet as a filter in many technical and commercial applications, such as wrappings for food products and the like.
While there are many additives, stabilizers and mixtures thereof which are known in the art to improve the ultraviolet light stability of organic compositions, there is a need in the art for more efficient and effective stabilizers to prevent the photo-degradation of organic compositions susceptible to photo-degradation. Therefore, to provide a more effective and efficient ultraviolet stabilizer for organic compositions susceptible to such degradation would be an advance in the state of the art.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide more effective and efficient ultraviolet light stabilizer compositions.
Another object of the present invention is to provide useful compositions characterized by improved resistance to ultraviolet degradation and deterioration.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide compositions containing biheterocyclic compositions which are resistant to ultraviolet degradation.
It is a still further object of this invention to provide processes for improving the resistance of organic materials to deterioration and degradation by actinic radiation and especially ultraviolet radiation.
It is a still further object of this invention to provide compositions and processes for improving the resistance of organic materials to deterioration and degradation by ultraviolet radiations, including short wave-length visible radiations.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the accompanying disclosure and claims.

The biheterocyclic compositions can be added to organic compositions which are susceptible to ultraviolet degradation. Such compositions include, for example, polymeric compositions such as polyester fiber and molding compositions, such as polyethylene terephthalate, polymethylene terephthalate and the like; polyolefins such as, for example, high, medium and low density polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene and the like; polyamides such as N-methoxymethyl polyhexamethylene adipamide and the like; polycarbonates; polyvinyl chlorides and copolymers; cellulose esters; acrylic/butadiene/styrene plastic; polyacrylics such as methyl methacrylate; polystyrene; gelatin; vinylidene chloride copolymers such as vinylidene chloride/vinyl acetate copolymers; ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers; cellulose ethers such as methyl cellulose; polyvinyl esters such as polyvinyl acetate; polyethylene oxide; polyvinyl acetals; polyformaldehydes; and polyurethanes. Such compositions also include natural and synthetic rubbers, such as polybutadiene, and unsaturated organic compositions such as oils and the like, as well as compositions containing such organic compositions.
The biheterocyclic compositions, as effective ultraviolet stabilizers or screening agents, are generally used in an amount of from 0.01% to 10%, by weight, based on the weight of the organic material to which they are added. While a detectable amount of ultraviolet screening and stabilization may be obtained with amounts less than 0.01%, this amount of stabilization or screening would be of little practical utility in a commercial application. Moreover, while amounts greater than 10%, by weight, provide effective ultraviolet stability and screening, such concentrations are undesirable because of cost and the deleterious effect which such concentrations may have on the mechanical properties of the organic composition in which the stabilizer is incorporated. Preferably, the stabilizer is used in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 3%, by weight. For example, an amount of 0.5%, by weight, of the stabilizer effectively stabilizes polytetramethylene terephthalate plastic compositions.
The ultraviolet stabilized organic compositions of the present invention may also contain other additives, pigments, colorants, stabilizers and the like. For example, polymeric compositions, such as polyolefins, may also contain and generally do contain other additives such as white or colored pigments or colorants, antioxidants, plasticizers, flow aids, processing aids, polymeric modifiers and the like.
These novel biheterocyclic ultraviolet stabilizers may be incorporated into organic compositions by melt-blending or may be added onto the surface of an organic plastic material prior to being molded into a suitable object. These materials can also be added to coatings and the like which can be applied to the surface of a molded object.
This invention will be further illustrated by the following examples although it will be understood that these examples are included merely for purposes of illustration and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
